[nibble]

hi guys,
is there any other way in viewing the kernel configuration or the OS configuration of ux11.11 aside from SAM?

thanks...

Hi there,

This is the Tru64 Unix forum, not hp-ux.
Be sure to look for the most appropraite forum before submitting a question.
Also, please try teh 'search' function before writing. That may safe you (and us) time.

On Tru64 you would use 'sysconfig'

On hpux 11.23 you use 'kctune' on 11.11 also?

You can also look straight into the kernel with commands like:

echo "lockable_mem/D" | adb /stand/vmunix /dev/kmem

hth,
hein.

But the answer anyway is:

kmtune
This (without arguments) will display all settings.

You can use:
kmtune -q

[Steven E. Protter]

kmtune can set dynamic parameters and be used the change parameters in the system file. Then you can take these steps and compile a kernel, moving it to production.

#cd /stand
#cp vmunix vmunix.old
#cp system system.old
#cd build
#/usr/lbin/system/system_prep -s system

Edit system file and make changes here as per ur require ment. Imeand addition/Deletion of devices. Then
#mk_kernel -s system
For more information see the man page of mk_kernel

Now one new kernel will be created in /stand/buil directory. Copy this to original location
#cd /stan/build
#cp vmunix_test /stand/vmunix
#cp system /stand

Now reboot the system . In case rebuilding was not successfull, Boot thru /stand/vmunix.old and recover kernel.
